Dream Tending is a life practice that healers, storytellers, and poets have known by many different names for thousands of years. Participants in this three-day workshop will build practical skills grounded in traditional and emerging methods of dreamwork. The Dream Tending methods developed by Dr. Stephen Aizenstat build on the methods of association, amplification, and animation pioneered by Freud and Jung, and expanded upon by James Hillman and Marion Woodman. Dream Tending puts animation into practice and allows us to experience dreams in their living, embodied reality.Workshop participants will: • Learn how to remember dreams and examine recurring dream themes • Practice dream tending skills with nightmares• Explore the multiple dimensions of psyche—the personal, collective, and world unconsciousAnimate dream images and form relationships with figures in dreams• Discover how living images impact and inform our moods, behaviors, and perceptions• Learn how dreams can support and improve physical and psychological healthParticipants will meet daily in four-person Dream Kivas to practice their dream tending skills. During these sessions, each member of the group will have the opportunity to work with their own dreams.Register for Summer Dream Tending WorkshopSee More

A Note from Robert Romanyshyn, Author and Professor Emeritus of Depth Psychology:My new book, Victor Frankenstein, the Monster and the Shadows of Technology: The Frankenstein Prophecies, is now available for purchase on Amazon as well at other websites and book storesWith the publication of this book, the shadow side of Victor Frankenstein’s dream and work to become a new god who would create a new race of beings is now present in the world.The dark side of his dream and work is mirrored in the creature he creates but then abandons, cursing him as a devil, demon and monster, and toward whom he continues to deny his responsibilities and obligations. But Mary Shelley’s story, which has endured for two hundred years, is a prophetic story, and it is the Monster’s tale from the margins that carries its prophecies.Through his prophetic descendants, who linger with us in the guise of our collective traumas, they haunt us as monstrous ecological, psychological and social consequences we face today. In this regard, Mary Shelley’s story is finished but it is not done. As heirs of Victor Frankenstein’s, we are not only unconsciously repeating but also technologically amplifying his dream and work. Find it on Amazon at https://amzn.to/2w6K4CHListen, watch, or read a dialogue with Robert and Bonnie Bright about nature, culture, technology and other themes from this groundbreaking book.
